Password requirements

You can configure the complexity requirements for ShareFile credentials.

To create other password requirements for your users:

1. Navigate to Account settings > Security > Sign in Policy > Password requirements.

2. Click Edit:

   

3. Customize complexity. Choose the desired values for:

   1. Minimum character length

   2. Numbers(s) required

   3. Special character(s) required

   4. Expiration - Enter number of days passwords expire after.

   5. History - Enter number of passwords before a password can repeat.

      

4. Select Save.

By default, for all users passwords:

• Must contain a minimum of 8 characters with a maximum number of 50 characters.
• Must contain 1 upper case and 1 lower case letter.
• Must contain at least 1 number.
• Must contain at least 1 of these special characters: ! # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = / . ? \ [ ] | ' ~ @ '
• Can’t be the same as their last 25 passwords.

NOTES:

• Any changes you make go into effect the next time a user changes their password.

• In response to an increase in internet-account credential (user name and password) theft, ShareFile might require a password reset and will continue to incorporate a regularly scheduled forced password reset into our normal operating procedures.

• ShareFile performs an additional password strength check to identify commonly used and exposed passwords when you click Reset.
